First time mommy anxiety!

Hello Girls, I'm nearly 11 weeks and it's my first baby! I live with anxiety and worries all day long that my baby still inside of me or not!! I try to keep my mind busy but doesn't help much! What do you do to deal with this anxiety? I know the more you get closer to 12 weeks the less chances of miscarriage but... I do hope my baby is OK! Can't wait to reach the 12th week and i think I will be more relaxed 😌

Is there a reason why you may be thinking baby is there or not? I'm 10wks +3 and my symptoms have faded a lot. Also wondering if baby is still there

When I was 12 weeks I wasn’t sure I was pregnant I thought maybe there was something wrong. A lot of people advised against it but I bought myself a Doppler so I can remind myself “this is real, there’s a baby in there and she’s okay”. I hope everything is okay happy first trimester guys. ❤️

Every pregnancy is different, some people have loads of symptoms and some barely have any, but its still normal just got to think all of our bodies are going to work differently.. with my first baby I didn’t have any symptoms at all and thought the same thing like is the baby even there, but as the baby starts to get bigger you’ll start to feel some changes.. you’ll be okay x

I know how you feel. I've suffered anxiety and depression since I was 15. Always go to worst case scenario to always be prepared.
I had all the symptoms and I was still worried I had no baby inside me. Knowing my mind isn't quite right, I just assumed maybe my body has made this all up to.
But I tried to relax to not cause extra stress. I decided if there wasn't a baby, when I found out it was a cruel joke, at least these short weeks would have been the happiest I've had this whole lifetime.

Luckily I have now had my early scan and am feeling much more at ease. So hopefully you'll get yours soon too and feel that relief.
Here if you need anything. We will get there ❤️

I’m exactly the same, I’m 11 weeks on Thursday and I feel so anxious as my nausea is starting to ease up I keep thinking something is wrong, I find taking myself for a walk and fresh air really helps, getting lots of sleep, as I am also so close to that 12 week scan now it makes me feel a bit better that everything is ok, try to relax when you can, but I no it’s really hard 😘

no, there isn't, is just... sometimes I get light bleeding and I wonder... am I losing the baby? Is just anxiety whether my baby's heartbeat still beating, I'm so looking forward to being a mum! And I don't want anything bad happening now, especially now that I got this far and I've been seen my baby 2 times on the scan. I think mommies to be this would always be there, the many questions, the anxiety... and is something we need to deal with...

oh wow! I will definitely look into this.. is it really worth it? From which week you can start using it? I'm 10 + 4 now x

you are right! Every woman is different, every body is different and obviously every pregnancy is different. I'm sure we will be fine, and soon we will start to feel less anxious and start enjoying pregnancy!! 😉

Avatar

sorry to hear that! I'm glad you feel at ease now with your early scan. I have my first scan on the 26th September, I'll be 13 weeks, can't wait for that... just to see me baby's heartbeat and its little body moving around. Thank you Louise, same here. Wish you all the best

Avatar

yes that's what I do too, take my dogs for a walk and take fresh air.. just waiting for my first scan! I think I will relax once I get my scan 😊 x

my scheduled scan is 3rd October. So I would have been waiting until the same point. Only reason I'm grateful for sickness and ending up in hospital 🤣
Hope you feel better too. And hopefully get to enjoy pregnancy once you've seen little one xxx

Avatar

c'mon girl! We will get there! I can't wait to see my lil one on the 26th of September xx

Avatar

haha you aren't the only one, I think I took like 3 pregnancy tests, is just normal for mommys to be feel this anxious and worried... we can't help it! Good luck with that scan next week, I'm sure you and baby are going to be fine xx😉

Anyone else feeling really heavy?

So I’m 27 weeks, and I feel really heavy! It’s the only way I can explain it, like my front feels heavy and my back hurts ( but not that much surprisingly) it’s more that when I’m stood or sat I feel uncomfortable. Anyone else feeling this at the min? This is my second pregnancy and child, and I don’t remember it being this bad first time round!

High blood pressure

I’ve had pre e with 3/4 of my kids. They are obviously watching me close this time around. I went to L&D about 3 weeks ago for it being really high. Got there it went down but they did keep me overnight. I’ve been monitoring my bp at home for a couple months now. Took my afternoon reading and was 190/80. I relaxed and wait 10-15 min to retake and was 152/75. I’m scared I will be having pre e again this time around.

I’m sorry but it feels like this pregnancy is going very fast! 🫠

How I am 4 months pregnant in 2 weeks and only have 5 months left! It feels like yesterday I only found out! I don’t remember my first going this quick.

She’s here just over a week early…🩷

She’s here, just over a week early!
Baby girl arrived 25th of March, I was due on 2nd of April🩷

A special thanks to clary sage oil and pumping colostrum, which I think started labour off, waters broke in the middle of the night 😳

And for all the Mamma’s expecting their second wondering if and how they will love their second the same as their first. You do, your heart doubles in size 🥰and use the sadness and anxiety you feel about leaving your first as your strength and power to get through💪🏼

You have got this, good luck all❤️
